General Hockey Talk - Injuries, signings, factoids + other news from around the league

Those were the days. Remember when I said, months ago, that we'd see if goaltending was more the reason for Maclean's coaching excellence?

You mean do I remember you being right, as usual? I sure do.

Oh, yeah, no chance if he has a NTC.

Apparently the KHL junior league is close to shutting down due to financial problems.

This could mean Russian juniors looking for other places to develop.......like the CHL!

The USHL seems to be emerging as well.

Lot of good players being drafted from the USHL, wonder why NCAA doesn't consider that professioanl vs the CHL. Obviously that $100 allowance each week is the kicker.

Could Edmonton get Jones for Hall?

That would be a great trade for Edmonton IMO, not sure if Nashville would need to make that move and I don't think they should. Truthfully I believe Jones is worth more than Hall and it's just a matter of time before Jones is one of those untouchable players and a franchise D man. Nashville got an absolute gift at #4 a couple years ago.

Stalberg on waivers

I agree, I doubt Nashville would do it, but it's an intriguing scenario.  Edmonton might have to add. I'm not a big fan of Hall at all though.

The Swedish Colin Greening (seriously). They play the exact same way.

Used to love that guy and he completely fell off the rails.

More of a chance that Weber goes at this point. His name has been coming up since the last year of his previous contract so maybe this is the player that Nashville has been waiting for?

I think the Sens might try and grab Stalberg. He's from Gothenburg

They might trade Greening for Stalberg, that would make sense... kind of.

Meh...hard to say. As Neely said, we'd have to make a swap and I can't see Nashville being in love with acquiring Greening.

That's what I've been hoping for some time. I can't see how that happens if it hasn't already though. Plus, and I'll admit that I liked Stalberg, I think he might be even more finished than Greening.

It. Begins.
